Pietro:  OpenSSL seems to provide add, double, invert and multiply
routines for EC points.  There does not seem to be an explicit routine
for subtract in the include files.

The book "Implementing Eliptic Curve Cryptography" by Michael Rosing has
routines esub and poly_esub for doing a subtraction of two EC points
depending on the type of underlying curve.  Essentially these routines
first perform a negation of the subtrahend followed by an addition.
